We continue to recover and rebuild following the devastating July 4 Central Texas floods. The damage is extensive, and recovery will continue for months to come. We also continue to mourn with those who lost loved ones. We are grateful to the first responders, local officials, and volunteers who are engaged in long-term recovery efforts.
We are equally grateful for the many calls we have received asking for ways to support our greater Central Texas region. With your support, we have raised and deployed nearly $200,000 to the following agencies. We encourage you to stay in touch and follow these agencies for updates.
